Present to Council updated information that in the progress <br />of LMCD's comprehensive plan <br />2. Determine from Council steps they may desire to take at this <br />juncture in light of those events. <br />INTRODUCTION - At the Council's last meeting Attachment A was <br />presented outlining the results of the January 8, 1991 <br />Metropolitan Council Systems Committee hearing. Attachment B was <br />transmitted in advance of that Committee's January 22, 1991 <br />meeting. <br />In the interim between Council meetings. Council member <br />Callahan and Jabbour together with myself met with LMCD on <br />January 16, 1991. This discussion, represented a "firm and frank <br />exchange of views". Among those was the reiteration of Orono's <br />position that it did not feel that LMCD should be involved in the <br />shoreland and that substantial changes would be needed to be made <br />to the comprehensive plan in order to gain Orono's support. <br />Present at that meeting, in addition to the above listed <br />representatives were Orono's LMCD representative JoEllen Hurr; <br />Gene Strommen, Executive Director of the LMCD; David Cochran, <br />LMCD representative from Greenwood; Jim Grathwol, LMCD <br />representative from Excelsior; together with Steve Preston, a <br />consultant that the LMCD is looking to aid them in their <br />implementation of the comprehensive plan. <br />DISCUSSION - <br />As noted in the Metropolitan Council's staff report <br />(Attachment B), they recommended the Metro Systems Committee <br />suspend LMCD*s plan for a period of up to 6 months in order to <br />work out differences in that plan that a majority of cities may <br />have with the plan. It was additionally recommended that if the <br />problems cannot be resolved between the communities and the LMCD, <br />Metro Council would not attempt to resolve them, but would refer <br />them to the next session of the Legislature in order to resolve <br />them. At their January 22, 1991, the Metro Council's Systems <br />Committee, after extensive discussion, voted to tentatively <br />approve the plan contingent on resolving issues with the other <br />cities. <br />L.^
